Alicia Keys Talks on why She is Proud Of Rihanna

Love to see other women giving each other compliments and recognizing that others are just as successful as them and Alicia Keys is giving Rihanna major props for the way she has handled living her life in the spot light. Yes, everyone knows who’s the hottest chic in the game and that is Ms. Robyn Fenty!

Alicia says about Rihanna:

“It’s such a tricky, crazy business, and when people are a little bit younger than me, I’m always hoping that their soul is good because it can be such a soulless space… “I’m proud of Rihanna. Because it’s not easy to stand up in this crazy world and make it and keep going and try new things. And find your way through it.”

Also Legendary New York punk  innovator and songwriter Patti Smith spoke on Riri

 “Right now my favorite song is “stay” by Rihanna. Right now I like Rihanna, its all about voice interpreation, I love Rihanna’s song because of its strength and feeling, I found it moving.”

Stay has amazing lyrics, Sia who sung on Flo-Rida’s “Wild Ones’  is a great songwriter. And Rihanna puts alot of emotion in the song.

Monica Talks About Not Wanting To Take Rocko To Child Support & Being Called A Baby Momma 

Jermaine Dupri was recently in the studio with R&B songstress Monica clowning around and just having fun while recording a song in the studio. The conversation got sort of/kind of serious when the term "Baby Momma" was used and Monica revealed that she wasn't sure how she felt about that term. 

Monica also goes into detail about not ever wanting to step foot inside of a court house to try and get child support from her childrens father, Rocko. Monica says that a REAL man should be able to assess the needs of their children and handle it accordingly.

Unfortunately, that is not the case for most women and we have to end up sitting in somebody's courtroom trying to get some sort of money in order to take care of our children. Lord knows I had to take my older childrens father to court on quite a few occasions because he was dead set on not giving me anything.

After getting him locked up a few times, he got the hint that I wasn't playing any games with him and he started paying on a regular basis. However, getting back to the topic at hand, check out what Monica had to say about child support and courtrooms when you read below:

I don’t know what Amanda Bynes has done to Khia, but I guess she is searching for some relevancy again so she started going in on Amanda Bynes via Twitter, saying that how she liked Hilary Duff and Raven Simone better than her.

SNEAK PEEK: Syleena Johnson, Keke Wyatt, LaTocha Scott, Nicci Gilbert And Angie Stone TOGETHER AGAIN For The "R&B Divas" REUNION Taping

Sparks flew during the R&B Divas Atlanta Season 2 Reunion taping on Tuesday night at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles.

Old fights were revisited and new friendships were solidified when Executive Producer Nicci Gilbert, Syleena Johnson, Angie Stone, Keke Wyatt, Monifah Carter and LaTocha Scott all joined Joe Clair to dish on the past season.

On woman who was missing in action was Faith Evans, who chose to skip the reunion to celebrate her 40th birthday. Does this mean she won't be back next season?

Singer Nicci Gilbert, who spent most of the season battling Syleena Johnson looked like an angel in white for the taping.

We wonder if her outfit was a part of the "Curvato" collection?

Nicci even blessed the reunion with a vocal selection.  Hmmm...we wonder if that "Brownstone" reunion ever happened?

Syleena Johnson spent most of the season battling Nicci and dealing with family drama as her mother, a former addict, became the newest member of her household.

LaTocha Scott, who joined the cast earlier this season, did her best to avoid the on-screen drama.

Keke Wyatt was in pretty good spirits this season as she had a hit single on the radio with Avant, "You And I".

Monifah, shown with her partner Terez, often played peace-maker this season.

DJ EQ keep the sounds flowing in between segments.

And tv personality Joe Clair played referee during the talks.

The explosive TV One reunion taping airs in two parts on June 26 and July 10 .

Flavor Flav Is About To Lose His Last Chicken & Ribs Joint

Flavor Flav's acumen as a business is looking very suspect. The Public Enemy rapper and reality star's last fried chicken joint in Michigan is in danger of closing. 

Reports TMZ:

Flavor Flav's run as a fast food mogul could be over in a matter of weeks ... because the last of his fried chicken joints has been hit with eviction papers ... TMZ has learned.

Flavor Flav's Chicken & Ribs in Sterling Heights, MI has been accused of stiffing its landlord out of rent since the day it opened back in December 2012.

FYI -- FFC&R is the last of 3 fried chicken joints Flav has tried to open in the past few years ... one sputtered out in Iowa in 2011 and the other one died a slow painful death in Vegas in 2012.

Now, according to court docs obtained by TMZ, the Michigan location is also on the ropes ... unless it finds a way to come up with $25,000 (missing rent + late fees + damages).

The papers show ... FFC&R was late in making its monthly $3,500 monthly rent payment back in Sept and October -- and stopped paying altogether in November.

The landlord warned Flav's restaurant about the problem back in January ... and just a few weeks ago, went back to the court in hopes a judge will kick Flav to the curb, stat. 

We called Flav about the crisis ... and he told us he had no idea the restaurant was in trouble. But the rapper insists, "I'm gonna figure out what's going on and get to the bottom of this ASAP!"

Flav is currently on the latest season of VH1's Couples Therapy. He is also going on trial for threatening his girlfriend/fiancee Liz Trujillo's son with a butcher knife. If convicted, the "911 Is A Joke" rapper is facing up to 12 years in prison.

You gotta get it together, Flav.

SPLITSVILLE!: MILEY CYRUS’ PARENTS CALLING IT QUITS!

Miley Cyrus has been in all types of media for starting a twerking trend amongst her vanilla-skinned fans, but now she’s dealing with some family issues.

Miley’s mom, Tish Cyrus, has filed for a divorce from mullet loving Billy Ray Cyrus citing “irreconcilable differences.” Her decision to pull the plug on the marriage comes 3 years after Billy Ray filed for divorce but dropped it in an attempt to work things out.

Billy Ray and Tish have been married for 19 years and have 5 children, including, of course, Miley. There’s only one minor child left, Noah Cyrus, who is 13. Tish is asking for full physical and legal custody, with visitation to Billy Ray.

Tish is also asking for spousal support, and she wants him to pay her attorney’s fees. The date of separation is listed as TBD.

Tish tells TMZ, “This is a personal matter and we are working to find a resolution that is in the best interest of our family. We ask that you respect our privacy at this time.” 

WHO’S GOT TALENT?!?: TEYANA TAYLOR + THAT BODY = OWWWWWW!!!

On “Instagram Straight Flexin’”, we find pics of Teyana posing in a black bikini with abs for days. What these pics are for? Not exactly sure but… It does help us take our mind of the fact that Teyana still hasn’t released any official projects.

Is Oprah Shutting Down O? 

During a recent conference Oprah Winfrey admits her O Magazine has suffered greatly since her talk show went off the air and the mag might be headed for the chopping block... 

Oprah says, 

“Obviously, the show was helping in ways that you know I hadn’t accounted for.” 

“I’m not interested, you know, in bleeding money." 

Ultimately Oprah says the magazine, which experienced a 22 percent drop in newsstand sales after her show went off the air, will stop publishing if it's not profitable 

Regardless she isn’t bothered…..I’m still TEAM O’! 

Did Fabolous Shade Emily B In New Track? 

Fresh off of being together on Fabolous' birthday, a new track has come out from Fabolous titled "Want You Back" which many are saying is a diss track towards Fabolous' sons mother, Emily B. The track features Joe Budden (who many are saying is dissing his ex-girlfriend Tahiry on the song as well) and Teyana Taylor. 

Here are a few lines from the track that have folks up in arms below: 

"I took you back, even when my friends told me not to. You wanted to give up on us, as long as there was season 2. So I fight for us, long as there was reason 2. You wanted to give up on us, long as there was season 2. Now if I was guarding Derrick Rose, I would be more understanding but you aint Derek Rose. You was my number 1 but uh, you aint Derrick Rose.” 

Now check out the song for yourselves when you listen HERE:

Even though the song insinuates that there may be some tension between Fabolous and Emily B, I doubt the two are having trouble in paradise. But we shall see…won’t we?

Bob Marley Relaxing Drink Sickens Students in NJ 

A popular beverage that was created in partnership with the Bob Marley family and sold in some New Jersey schools has been banned after its stated effects made children feel sleepy and ill, according to Fox News. 

Marley’s Mellow Mood, which is typically found in convenience stores and gas stations, is part of a new trend of “relaxation” products.  The drink, which prominently features an image of the late reggae star on its label, was also available for sale at the William R. Satz School and Holmdel High School in Holmdel, N.J. 

The beverage contains valerian, which is a medicinal herb that has not been subjected to extensive testing.  Valerian is used for treating insomnia, stress, and anxiety, and there reportedly hasn’t been much research done on the potential effects it has on children. 

Ironically, the beverage’s label has a warning that indicates it may cause drowsiness and is not intended for children. 

The Marley family drink also contains other ingredients, such as lemon balm, hops, passion flower, and chamomile. 

The company issued a statement in which it said it takes this situation very seriously. 

It’s unclear what the students’ symptoms were. 

Shots Fired!? White Female Rappers Snow tha Product and Lega-C Beefin? 

A war of words exploded on Twitter recently between supporters of Atlantic Records artist Snow tha Product (“Cookie Cutter B*tches”) and independent rapper Lega-C (“White Girl Raps Fast”). The drama seems to have started after Strange Music boss  TechN9ne tweeted at Lega-C on November 29. 

Several dummy Twitter accounts, including one named @SnowVsLega_C, immediately began popping up attacking Lega-C, born Danielle McLean, and a pornographic picture of a naked and bound female with the caption “The Real Lega-C” was then circulated to followers of the Tulsa, Oklahoma native. A year ago today, Lega-C confirmed the existence of a sex tape and lewd pictures showing her with a snake, but denied that the photo currently floating around Twitter is actually her. 

Source: more drama 

The uproar reached critical mass on December 2 after hundreds of tweets were volleyed back and forth between supporters of both artists, including some speculating that the “murder victim” in Lega-C’s disturbing Youtube music video, “That Bitch”, is actually portraying Snow, prompting the Dallas, TX native, whose street-ready mixtape Good Nights & Bad Mornings drops December 12, to send a tweet distancing herself from the drama. 

Tweets from  SnowThaProduct 

For her part, Lega-C refused to speak on the true nature of the beef, other than to say that she addresses the situation on bonus video footage contained on a deluxe CD version of her major indie debut Block Starz Music/Select-O-Hits release Off My Medication, which be in stores nationwide on January 22.

Check out more tweets  from Lega-C 

Rihanna Brings “Styled To Rock” Reality Series To The Style Network 

Rihanna will be hitting the small screen soon with a fashion reality series that FAILED Iin the U.K on the Style network, titled Styled to Rock. 

RiRi will star in and executive produce the show, which will feature 12 up-and-coming designers, hand-picked by Rihanna, who will create fashion pieces for A-list celebrity talent. This is her second go at the series, as she did the same show in the UK months back. After struggling to find viewers, the show was nixed; only to be picked up by US Style Network. 

“Fashion has always played an integral part in my life and career,” said Rihanna. “I am so excited to partner with Style Network and share my creative insight with these 12 designers and give them this opportunity to showcase their work.” 

Deadline reports: 

To help the selected 12 designers, Rihanna will enlist the guidance of top experts from the fashion industry to serve as mentors. Each week, challenges will push the designers to their creative limits when they are tasked with styling an A-list star. Each week’s celebrity guest will determine which designer best achieves their vision — and advances to the next week of competition. Faced with the threat of elimination, the remaining designers must meet with the mentors to discuss where they fell short and ultimately who will be sent home. In the end, one designer will be named the winner. 

Additionally…During the summer it was announced that Rihanna teamed up with UK brand River Island for a capsule collection that will launch in the Spring of 2013. On Monday, she tweeted the above pic from the set of the campaign shoot. RiRi’s carrying her busy schedule on into 2013, with her North American “Diamonds World Tour” kicking off in March. 

COMING TO THE OPRAH NETWORK! MEET SIX LITTLE MCGHEES! 

A couple that gave birth to sextuplets in 2010 have become the inspirational stars of a new reality television program as they juggle marriage, working together and six demanding toddlers. 

Mia and Rozonno McGhee, and their six bundles of joy, gained internet fame after Mia posted a picture on Facebook and was then asked to appear on Oprah. 

Now, on Six Little McGhees, premiering December 15, the parents reveal what it's really like to bring up six children at once. Mr McGhee explains to the camera: 'Six babies crying, can you picture that?' 

The McGhees' are high school sweethearts who never imagined they would give birth to Columbus, Ohio's first sextuplets.

In a sneak peek of the OWN reality series, Mr McGhee says of their daily routine: 'A typical day for me and Mia? We wake up around 5.30am, brush our teeth, clean up, get it together.' 

From sunrise to sunset, cameras document each busy day the family navigates work life and home life with six babies and a small entourage of helpers. 

All day, everyday: From sunrise to sunset, cameras document each busy day the family navigates work life and home life with six babies and a small entourage of helpers 

The couple describe their six children, saying: 'Josiah, or Jo Jo, is sneaky. He's real clever.' 

While Madison, is the family 'joker and prankster'. Olivia, who they describe as a 'drama queen' is nicknamed The Princess; and Isaac 'tries to be the boss, and if your not doing something right he'll smack you,' admitted Mr McGhee.

WATCH:

Mia calls Rozonno Jr 'a tough old cookie,' and Elijah, who is 'big and he knows it,' the family 'bully'. 

The couple also discuss the dynamic of living and working together while trying to raise six children. 

After Mrs McGhee pushed her husband to start his own business, the couple have been able to financially support their family of eight with ease, but Mr McGhee says it's not always so easy. 

'Let me tell you,' he says. 'Living together and going to work together is not easy at all.' 

Mrs McGhee interjects, 'It's not?' before Mr McGhee responds with a smile, 'No, it's not.' 

Cheekily, Mr McGhee says: 'I love it, I love going to work with my wife, sitting in the same car, in the same room all day. 'I love the way you yell at me,' he says smiling at his unimpressed wife.'

Eminem’s Daughter Hallie Tells Taylor Swift “Stop Whoring Around With Every Guy She Sees” 

Eminem’s daughter Hallie Scott Mathers is a big fan of One Direction and has a huge crush on Harry Styles who is dating Taylor Swift. Hallie took to twitter to tell Taylor Swift stop ‘Whoring Around With Every Guy’… 

“[I]f @taylorswift13 is really dating the love of my life @Harry_Styles i will not be happy,” the 16-year-old wrote on her Twitter feed (the real one). 

She went on to offer the unlucky-in-love Swift some unsolicited dating advice: “Dear@taylorswift13, please stop whoring around with every guy you see. We all know you’re only doing it so you can make another album.” 

To which Taylor Swift responded in the Twitter feed in her mind, “y u jelly tho.” 

Yikes!!! 

Chris Bosh Wins his Child Support Case!

The messy child support battle between Miami Heat star Chris Bosh and his baby mama Alison Mathis is over and Chris made out like a fat rat... 

Alison Mathis just lost a ruling that would have upped her child support order from $2,600 a month to a whopping $30,000 a month! 

Alison had been trying to convince a judge in Florida that Chris is a legal resident of Miami, which would have voided the support agreement put in place by a judge in Texas. 

The judge didn't agree and Chris was just declared a legal resident of Texas so the original child support order stands. 

Alison famously applied for food stamps at the height of the child support battle claiming she was destitute. 

Lil' Scrappy & Erica Dixon Make It DRIZZLE At The STRIP CLUB! 

"LAHH ATL" couple Lil' Scrappy and Erica Dixon were spotted having a little fun at Onyx strip club in Atlanta 

The couple were joined by a few Falcons players and DJ Nando who all cheered while watching Scrappy make it drizzle (because we don't think tossing a few singles counts as "rain"). 

And if reports from UPTOWN Magazine are true, seeing Scrappy and Erica go head-to-head with Diamond and Soulja Boy on season 2 of "LAHH ATL" should prove very interesting next year. 

Drizzle on...
